Document Library: move entry to different folder question
Liferay Master Postagens: 894 Data de Entrada: 18/02/09 Postagens Recentes
Hi @all,
I have a question regarding the movement of a previously uploaded document to a new folder in Liferay 5.2.3 CE.
If someone moves a document (DLFileEntry) from one to another folder the "old" entry in dlfileentry table is deleted and a new entry is inserted which has exactly the same values besides the new folderid.
Why is always a new dlfileentry table object created instead of modifying the existing one and change the folderid??
The problem with always creating a new dlfileentry object:
You have a web content structure with a field of type document library and create a new web content with a link to a document library file. If you then move a file to another folder the link to this file isn't working anymore because the new object gets a new uuid which is used for creating the link to this file.
I changed this behaviour so that only the folderid is updated and no new dlfileentry object is created. So it's working for me now. But why is the default creating a new object in the dlfileentry table and deleting the old one (just because of a folderid change)?

Hi Oliver,
I'm facing the same problem, with web content losing link to document library when moving a document from one folder to another.
Did you find an answer to explain the standard behavior that recreates a new document instead of updating the existing one?
Thank you.

Hi Sylvain,
as you can see I don't get any official response from a Liferay dev but I'm don't facing any bugs because of my change. If your interested in this modification let me know or take a look at the "DLFileEntryLocalServiceImpl.updateFileEntry" method.

It appears the problem is worse in Liferay 6.
Links to document library from web content use the full path to the document.
So, if I move a document from one folder to another, links to that document are lost, even if I fix the "changed UUID" problem.
"It's not a bug, it's a feature" ?

Hi,
thanks for the info.
I'm not using Liferay 6 at the moment but it's good to know that the migration wouldn't be that easy.
Can you please create a jira ticket and link this thread? Because this seems to be definetly a bug, not to say a huge bug. Moving a document should never break the links to it. Otherwise the "move document" feature is worthless.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Oliver,
Can you update if any progress or further information on link breakage due to movement of documents in Liferay 6 ?
I am also interested in this issue.

Liferay 6.2 don't recreate DLFileEntry unless its repositoryId/groupId changes (and that cannot be done using Liferay interface, it can only be done using Liferay API)
